That’s wild lol. What a loser.

That’s fair for sure.

That works too. I guess compared to a drive in a NAS, which had its own parity and aren’t sitting stationary on a shelf, that are replaced as they start reporting SMART failures or whatever.

I largely agree with you. I don’t include my pirated media in my cloud backups, both because as you said it’s easily recoverable and I’m not about to pay for 10’s of Terabytes of cloud storage lol. The only redundancy I have for them is the fact that they’re stored on a RAID array vs just being on single drive. It’s just personal records and documents, photos, and personal code that I have backed up into the cloud.

As an aside, I’m kind of confused as to how you were able to redownload all your media faster than copying it over from one NAS to another. I have my NAS connected to my network with a 10Gbps fiber spf+ module and only have 1Gbps from my ISP, so I can copy 10x faster than I could just download. Even if you had the nas on 1Gbps surely copying would be faster, or at least not slower than, downloading, especially when considering the overhead of unpacking, parity checking, etc right?

And that’s with me thinking about all this with Usenet, which has always consistently maxed out my available download bandwidth. My experience with torrents is that it’s much less consistent with fully utilizing all my available download bandwidth just bc it’s more reliant on the seeders upload rate caps.

At the end of the day it really doesn’t matter i guess.

Nothing really, but the lifespan of burned BD’s could mean you don’t have access to your data in the future.

If you care about local data preservation and you’re storing remuxes you should probably be storing them on a nas, or really just on a raid array. This allows for error correction due to the parity stripes and everything, and provided tolerance for drive failure.

If you were really serious about it, you’d want a mirrored nas offsite, or you’d push encrypted backups to cloud storage or something. But if you care about storing data as long term as possible you absolutely should not be storing the stuff on a single ssd or external drive or anything.

I know I’m supposed to be better than this, but what the absolute fuck is wrong with bro? His entire vibe is off. What the fuck is with that hair? Why is he calling everything baller? This is some Zuckerberg lizard person shit all over again a person who thinks that hair works and talking like that sounds fucking cool can’t be an actual human what in the weird ass shit.

Two of the victims were arrested for resisting officers.

I’m not even surprised at this point.

Exactly. I “save for months” to buy my contacts, but that means setting aside $85 a month so I can drop $1000 every year on a new order of contacts without thinking about it. Saving for months for something is just budgeting.

So you played the technical test and not just the server slam?

Did you try it by buying it and then refunding? Or do you mean you played the server slam a few weeks ago?

Unless people have been playing an insane amount since release, I don’t think anyone’s really going out into a raid with the equivalent of late wipe geared up Tarkov equipment. I’ve barely seen anyone tossing out wolfpacks, I haven’t seen anyone using a hullcracker or an equalizer, and I haven’t taking any damage from a bettina yet. And has anyone seen a Jupiter in game?

All in all I agree with you though, this definitely is t Tarkov, and the people who are stressed are probably pretty new to the whole extraction shooter thing. I was running some raids with a finals friend and an old Tarkov mate, and we were just vibing dude. Super chill. And yeah anything I go in with right now I can pretty easily recraft in an instant. The tiered crafting mechanics seem way more intuitive than in Tarkov. I really like how the damage is governed by the weapon, not the bullet type. Losing a gun might sting for a second, but at least I’m not micromanaging my ap rounds and shit. Or holy fuck I forgot about this, stacking mags with ap at the top and staggering as you get through the 30. Although putting tracers as the last 5 like I did irl was always fun.

Embark released blog posts about how they’re integrating AI into their development workflow back in 2019/2020. The entire studio was founded by former Dice devs bc they were burned out with game development and had quit, then realized they could build tools and pipelines that allowed them to focus on the fun parts of game development, and got together to form Embark and do exactly that. Their vision preceded the vast majority of the public’s awareness of AI, and was not influenced by the current wave of LLMs and generative ai.

If you want to hate feel free that’s your prerogative, but be aware that anything Embark makes is going to be built on tools and pipelines that deeply integrate some form of AI/ML, and just stay away from anything the studio makes. It’s your loss really because their games are the first in a long time (in their genres) that I can feel the love the devs poured in seeping from every single aspect of the game, but again it’s your prerogative.

Yup exactly that.

So if you want to use a word use a word but just use it. Don’t give some bullshit filtering with *’s every goddamn time it shows up.

Also it’s fine to use goddamn but not bullshit? I’d guess this was some voice to text thing, but the asterisks were properly escaped.

So as I understand it from conversations surrounding the USB-C stuff and other things the EU was trying to enforce on US headquartered companies, “doing business in” means the company has a registered subsidiary in that region, they have local payment processors, etc. So Meta does business in the EU or UK because they sell advertising space to businesses in those regions that target users in those regions, and the ad fees are paid to that local subsidiary through local payment processors.

Ofcom is not demanding that age verification is implemented for all users world wide, but for UK users. 4Chan can decide to not comply (which I think is good), but then it is not surprising that if you keep doing business in the UK (not blocking UK users/IPs) that fines (which 4chan will just ignore as they are not UK based) and possible bans on your service in the UK follow.

I think we’re on the same page. Ofcom can’t force 4chan to do anything, because they don’t have jurisdiction over 4chan. They can’t force 4chan to implement age verification, or to implement geoblocks. They can issue fines if they feel like it, but they’re uncollectible.

So ultimately that’s what’s so ridiculous and goofy and annoying about all this shit. Ofcom is acting like foreign companies with no business operations in the UK are subject to its decisions. They are not. Ofcom should have never tried regulating entities it has no authority over, it just makes them look silly and naive.

The UK has every right to restrict their own residents access to things that are illegal internally. Just like how they have customs controls at their physical borders to prevent illegal physical items from being imported, they should have just blocked 4chan off the rip instead of trying to fine them.

Holy shit that photo in one of their bedrooms is unhinged. There’s wallpaper for a 2 year old kid up, then a fucking nazi flag pinned to the opposite wall. wtf.

The part where they have any infrastructure, operations, revenue, or presence at all in the UK. They don’t, so the UK doesn’t have jurisdiction. This isn’t like the Apple stuff, where physical Apple products are being sold at retail in the EU/UK. UK residents are intentionally navigating to a website outside UK jurisdiction. If a UK resident goes to Mallorca on holiday, Spanish laws, not UK laws, apply because they’re in fucking Spain.

Also you should probably click that About page on the linked blog dude. Unless some American just randomly wound up at UCL in 1988 then graduated, stayed in the UK, and got a job at UCW Aberystwyth, you might want to rethink the random bullshit you’re spouting off as fact lol. By all means keep going off about how British ppl are “USians” and “US idiots” though.

Oh, ok. You seem to kind of have a bone to pick with GN lol. Anyway, this all just proves fame is relative and we all live in a bubble of our own constructed reality.

Im going to take a charitable read on this and just assume that you’re misunderstanding or uninformed of the context at the core of this, because nothing of what you said is really applicable.
